       Having a slow computer is one of the most annoying things one
       can come across. In this article, we will cover not just how to
       increase the boot speeds, but the overall performance of your
       Windows machine.
       Reboot
       If it has been a while since you have rebooted your PC, do it
       before you proceed to any of the below-mentioned tricks.
       Kill Lousy Background programs
       Hefty background processes are one of the main reasons for a
       slow computer.Disable or remove the startup programs that
       automatically start every time your computer boots.
       If you have an antivirus (which you probably would have), then
       make sure it is not scanning your PC in the background.
       Anti-virus programs drastically slow down the computer when they
       are scanning. If you choose to have a scan then wait until the
       scan is complete and this should improve the overall speed.
       Free hard drive space
       Make sure that you have at least 400-500MB of free space on your
       hard drive. The reason to have at least 500MB free space is to
       allow for a good swap file size and also for the temporary
       files.
       Scan for viruses and malware
       If your computer is infected with a virus or a malware, it can
       cause your computer to run slow. If you do not have an antivirus
       installed on your computer, you can try any of the free
       antivirus software in the market.
       Keep Windows Updated
       Make sure you have installed all the latest major Windows
       updates. This helps in making you safe from potential threats
       and also run your operating system fluently.
       Increase Memory
       If you are a heavy Chrome user like I am and see that your
       computer is running slow, there is a great chance that Chrome is
       eating up all your RAM. So, make sure you have enough ram to run
       all tasks smoothly.
